*Number of apples will be dependent on size of apples.
**You could substitute 1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon for the Cinnamon Stick or eliminate

Directions:

Put all ingredients into slow cooker except for the sugar. I like to wait until after cooking to see if the applesauce needs added sugar. If you purchase sweeter apples, you may not even need to add sugar as it will be naturally sweet. If you have tart apples such as Granny Smith, you will likely need to add a bit of sugar.

Slow Cooker should be about 3/4 full.

Cook on low about 6 hours. If you’re not using an Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer, you will need to increase your cooking time to accomidate chunky apple pieces.

Remove and discard cinnamon stick.

Mash with a potato masher for chunkier applesauce or blend for a smoother applesauce.

This will last in the refrigerator for about a week.

Note: If you have a small slow cooker, use 6 -10 apples and reduce water to about 1/2 cup.
